2 Corinthians 12:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ This is now the third time that I am ready to come to visit you—and I will not make any demands on you. It is you I want, not your money. After all, children should not have to provide for their parents, but parents should provide for their children. ¹⁵ I will be glad to spend all I have, and myself as well, in order to help you. Will you love me less because I love you so much?

¹⁶ You will agree, then, that I was not a burden to you. But someone will say that I was tricky, and trapped you with lies.
